On the My Teaching tab in Sisu, you can view information on teaching for which you are indicated as the teacher or coordinator. Lecture series, seminar work and other teaching sessions are known in Sisu as implementations. Your teaching is an implementation of a course which is, on a broader level, part of a degree programme curriculum.
When planning your teaching, you must be familiar with the course syllabus and the degree programme curriculum to be able to connect your teaching to the wider framework. Similarly, assessment is always based on the learning outcomes set for the course and defined in the curriculum. Read more about the assessment of learning and knowledge.
Courses may have different completion methods that can be divided into parts. For example, students may be required to complete a lecture-based course and write an essay to earn the course credits. Students can view the different course completion methods when registering for the course in Sisu.

Quick guide for assessment
- Select the implementation (course or examination) to be evaluated in Sisu under My Teaching > Assessment.
- Record the grades and enter the necessary additional information as well as written feedback if relevant. You can record information one student at a time or select the Bulk edit information feature to record the same information for several students at once.
- Confirm the assessments on the Review and confirm tab.
Immediately after being confirmed, the credits will be displayed to students as partially completed. The information will automatically change overnight so that the credits appear as fully completed. When students have completed all the credits required for a course, the credits will not appear as fully completed in the study plan until the day after the assessments have been confirmed.
You cannot change grades once you have confirmed them. If you notice erroneous information when recording an assessment, please contact the University’s assessment support services (assessment@helsinki.fi). Please do not confirm assessments before the error has been corrected.
